PGA DFS: Round 3 Showdown Picks & Projections - TOUR Championship
PGA DFS Showdown Picks and Projections – Round 3
I’m not going to lie- a part of me wants this tournament to be a clear runaway. While it doesn’t sound like the PGA TOUR is going to change the FedExCup Playoffs format anytime soon, perhaps a blowout with bad ratings and little social media interest could start moving the needle in the right direction. As golf fans, we deserve a postseason that is captivating and that wraps up the season. The current format isn’t all that interesting and is likely unsustainable on the prize pool front. Anyway, Scottie Scheffler will take a four-shot lead into the weekend. There are only two other players within five shots of the lead. Saturday is shaping up for another day of little to no wind.
